Detection of Trojan Asteroids in the orbits of Earth and Mars

This work describes probability distributions and constrains sky search areas for Earth and Mars Trojan asteroids, proposes search strategies using ground-based telescopes and predicts outcomes from the Gaia mission for detection of Earth and Mars Trojans, describes the role of the Zadko Telescope a...
